TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of mobile communication technology, and particularly to a method and a system for processing a bearer under an idle mode signaling reduction (ISR) mechanism.

BACKGROUND

A core network of a wireless evolution network mainly includes three logic function entities, namely, a mobility management entity (MME), a serving gateway (SGW), and a packet data network gateway (PGW). The MME, as a mobility management network element, is responsible for functions such as signaling encryption, roaming, tracking, assignment of temporary subscriber identities and security functions, and the MME corresponds to a control plane part a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) support node inside a current system. The SGW is responsible for local mobile anchor points and mobile anchor points inside a system and lawful interception of relevant information. The PGW is responsible for policy execution and charging and lawful interception of relevant functions. The policy execution and charging is on the basis of a policy and charging control (PCC) rule, which is delivered to the PGW by a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) entity. As the PCRF entity delivers the PCC rule, the PCC rule needs to be determined according to a current radio access type (RAT) of a user. Different RATs may deliver different PCC rules.

Signaling reduction, also called idle mode signaling reduction, can function to reduce signaling over air interface only if the user equipment (UE) is in an idle mode. If an ISR mechanism is adopted for 2G and/or 3G, the user plane in the idle mode is terminated at the SGW. Therefore, under the case that a signaling reduction mechanism is initiated at the user and the network side, the network side cannot know the specific network of the user is 2/3G or a Local Term Evolution (LTE).

In the ISR mechanism, when the user in 2/3G is in IDLE mode, and handovers from a source side 2/3G network to a target side LTE network, since the PGW knows nothing of the user state, and still holds the PCC policy corresponding to the access of the source side 2/3G network, and at this time, the IDLE mode user may possibly be in the LTE access network. If the PGW initiates bearer establishing/modifying/deleting procedure, after the MME pages the user, the bearer establishing/modifying/deleting process will be executed at the side of the LTE, thereby successfully establishing/modifying/deleting the bearer. However, the PCC policy on which the establishing/modifying/deleting process of the bearer initiated by the PGW is based is directed to the access mode of 2/3G.

In the conventional art, under the ISR mechanism, when the network side initiates the bearer establishing/modifying/deleting process for the IDLE user, the access mode to which the PCC policy directed may possibly be inconsistent with the access mode of the resident network of the user.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The exemplary embodiments described below provide a method and a system for processing a bearer under an ISR mechanism. In order to make the technical solutions clearer and more comprehensible, embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings are described.

Referring to FIG. 1, a signaling flow chart of a method for processing a bearer under an ISR mechanism according to a first embodiment is shown. The bearer processing procedure may be a bearer activation or processing procedure. In this embodiment, the bearer activation procedure under an ISR mechanism is described. User equipment (UE) in an IDLE state is moved from an original resident network to a current network.

The process of initiating a bearer activation procedure under the ISR mechanism specifically includes the following steps.

In step 101, a PCRF delivers a PCC rule to a PGW.

The PCC rule is a PCC rule corresponding to an access mode of the original resident network.

If the PCC rule is not configured by the PCRF, a Quality of Service (QoS) rule may also be configured by the PGW.

In step 102, the PGW, according to the PCC rule, sends a create bearer request to an SGW.

The aforementioned is the bearer activation process triggered by the PGW.

The PCRF may also directly deliver the PCC rule to the SGW to trigger the bearer activation process, or the SGW configures the QoS rule.

In step 103, after confirming that the UEs at access modes of a source side and a target side are in an IDLE state, the SGW stores the create bearer request, and notifies a mobility management network element in the current network and a mobility management network element at another network side to initiate a UE paging procedure.

The mobility management network element above may be a Mobility Management Entity (MME) or a Service GPRS Support Node (SGSN).

In this embodiment, the SGW may notify the mobility management network element in the current network and the mobility management network element in the original resident network to initiate paging through a downlink data notification message or another new message.

In step 104, after receiving a service request from the UE, the mobility management network element in the current network acquires the access mode of the current network, and notifies the SGW of the access mode of the current network.

The mobility management network element in the current network may also acquire the access mode of the current network by other means. For example, the mobility management network element in the current network sends a message of acquiring the access mode of the current network to the current network, and the current network returns a response message carrying the access mode of the current network.

In Step 105, the SGW compares the acquired access mode of the current network with the recorded access mode of the original resident network to determine whether they are the same. If yes, the process proceeds to step 106; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 107.

The SGW stores the access mode of the original resident network therein.

In step 106, the SGW extracts the stored create bearer request and continue the bearer activation process.

For example, the current network and the original resident network are both 2G/3G networks.

Since the bearer activation process is substantially the same as the bearer activation process in the prior art, it will not be described in detail here.

In step 107, the SGW returns a response message for rejecting bearer activation to the PGW.

The response message for rejecting bearer activation may carry the access mode of the current network.

Specifically, the SGW may carry the access mode of the current network as a parameter in the response message for rejecting bearer activation and send it to the PGW. The response message for rejecting bearer activation may further carry a content indicating that the access mode of the current network is inconsistent with the access mode of the original resident network recorded in the PGW, for example, indicating that the access mode stored in the PGW is inconsistent with the current access mode in the value of cause.

In step 108, the SGW sends an update bearer request to the PGW, which carries the access mode of the current network.

For example, the current network is a 2G/3G network, and the original resident network is an LTE network. Thus, the update bearer request message sent by the SGW to the PGW carries the access mode of the current 2G/3G network.

Specifically, the SGW may carry the access mode of the current network as a parameter in the update bearer request message and send it to the PGW. The update bearer request message may further carry a content indicating that the access mode of the current network is inconsistent with the access mode of the original resident network recorded in the PGW, for example, indicating that the access mode stored in the PGW is inconsistent with the current access mode in the value of cause.

When the SGW is connected to multiple packet data networks (PDNs), it sends the update bearer request message to multiple PGWs.

In step 109, the PGW returns an update bearer response message to the SGW.

In step 110, the PGW sends the access mode of the current network to the PCRF, and acquires the PCC rule corresponding to the access mode of the current network from the PCRF.

In step 111, the PGW initiates a bearer activation process according to the acquired PCC rule corresponding to the access mode of the current network.

If, in steps 101-102, the PCRF directly delivers the PCC rule to the SGW to trigger the bearer activation process, the process from step 107 to step 111 is as follows. The SGW sends the access mode of the current network to the PCRF, and the PCRF sends the PCC rule corresponding to the access mode of the current network to the SGW and the PGW. The SGW initiates the bearer activation process according to the PCC rule corresponding to the access mode of the current network.

The present disclosure is applicable to not only the bearer activation procedure in the embodiment, but also bearer modifying and deleting procedures, which are substantially similar to the bearer activation procedure and will not be further described here.

Referring to FIG. 2, a signaling flow chart of a method for processing a bearer under an ISR mechanism according to a second embodiment is shown. The bearer processing procedure may be a bearer initiating or processing procedure. This embodiment is still described according to the bearer activation procedure under the ISR mechanism. UE in an IDLE state is moved from an original resident network to a current network.

The specific signaling flow of initiating a bearer activation procedure under the ISR mechanism includes the following steps.

In step 201, a PCRF delivers a PCC rule to a PGW.

The PCC rule is a PCC rule corresponding to an access mode of the original resident network.

If the PCC rule is not configured by the PCRF, a QoS rule may also be configured by the PGW.

In step 202, the PGW, according to the PCC rule, sends a create bearer request to an SGW.

The PCRF may also directly deliver the PCC rule to the SGW to trigger the bearer activation process, or the SGW configures the QoS rule.

In step 203, if the SGW finds that the user is in an IDLE state in two access modes under the ISR mechanism, it sends a create bearer request to a mobility management network element in the current network and a mobility management network element in the original resident network.

In step 204, the mobility management network element in the current network and the mobility management network element in the original resident network firstly store signaling and then page the user, and the mobility management network element in the current network acquires the access mode of the UE after receiving the service request of the UE.

The mobility management network element of the current network may also acquire the access mode of the current network by other means, for example, sending a message of acquiring the access mode of the current network to the current network, and the current network returns a response message carrying the access mode of the current network.

In step 205, the mobility management network element of the current network continues performing the bearer activation process, and sends an update bearer request message to the SGW. The update bearer request message carries the access mode of the current network, and the SGW returns an update bearer response message to the mobility management network element of the current network.

In step 206, the SGW notifies the mobility management network element of the original resident network to stop paging the user, and stop processing the previously received create bearer request. The SGW compares the access mode of the current network with the access mode of the original resident network to determine whether they are the same. If they are not the same, the process proceeds to step 207.

The SGW stores the access mode of the original resident network therein.

In step 207, the SGW sends the update bearer request message to the PGW.

The update bearer request message may carry the access mode of the current network.

Specifically, the SGW may carry the access mode of the current network as a parameter in the update bearer request message and send it to the PGW. The update bearer request message may further carry a content indicating that the access mode of the current network is inconsistent with the access mode of the original resident network recorded in the PGW, for example, indicating that the access mode stored in the PGW is inconsistent with the current access mode in the value of cause.

When the SGW is connected to multiple PDNs, it sends the update bearer request message to multiple PGWs.

In step 208, the PGW returns an update bearer response message to the SGW.

In step 209, the PGW sends the access mode of the current network to the PCRF, and acquires the PCC rule corresponding to the access mode of the current network from the PCRF.

In step 210, after the bearer activation process is ended, the PGW initiates a bearer modifying process according to the acquired PCC rule corresponding to the access mode of the current network.

If, in steps 201-202, the PCRF directly delivers the PCC rule to the SGW to trigger the bearer activation process, the process from step 207 to step 210 is as follows. The SGW sends the access mode of the current network to the PCRF, and the PCRF sends the PCC rule corresponding to the access mode of the current network to the SGW and the PGW. After the bearer activation process is ended, the SGW initiates the bearer modifying process according to the PCC rule corresponding to the access mode of the current network.

The present disclosure is applicable to not only the bearer activation procedure in the embodiment, but also bearer modifying and deleting procedures, which are substantially similar to the bearer activation procedure and will not be further described here.

Referring to FIG. 3, a signaling flow chart of a method for processing a bearer under an ISR mechanism according to a third embodiment is shown. The bearer processing procedure may be a bearer initiating or processing procedure. This embodiment is still described according to the bearer activation procedure under the ISR mechanism. UE in an IDLE state is moved from an original resident network to a current network.

In step 301, a PCRF delivers a PCC rule to a PGW.

The PCC rule is a PCC rule corresponding to an access mode of the original resident network.

If the PCC rule is not configured by the PCRF, a QoS rule may also be configured by the PGW.

In step 302, the PGW sends, according to the acquired PCC rule, a create bearer request to an SGW.

Of course, the PCRF may also directly deliver the PCC rule to the SGW to trigger the bearer activation process, or the SGW configures the QoS rule.

In step 303, if the user is in an IDLE state in two access modes under the ISR mechanism, the SGW sends a create bearer request message to a mobility management network element in the current network and a mobility management network element in the original resident network.

The message carries the access mode of the original resident network recorded in the SGW.

In step 304, the mobility management network element in the current network and the mobility management network element in the original resident network firstly store signaling and then page the user, and the access mode of the current network is acquired by paging the user.

The mobility management network element of the current network may also acquire the access mode of the current network by other means, for example, the mobility management network element of the current network sends a message of acquiring the access mode of the current network to the current network, and the current network returns a response message carrying the information of the access mode of the current network.

In step 305, the mobility management network element of the current network compares the acquired access mode of the current network with the access mode of the original resident network carried in the message of the bearer request sent by the SGW to determine whether they are the same. If yes, the process proceeds to step 306; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 307.

In step 306, the mobility management network element extracts the stored create bearer request and continues the bearer activation process.

Since the bearer activation process is substantially the same as the bearer activation process in the prior art, it will not be described in detail here.

In step 307, the mobility management network element of the current network returns the create bearer response message to the SGW, which carries the access mode of the current network.

The mobility management network element of the current network may also send the access mode of the current network to the SGW by the update bearer request message.

In step 308, the SGW returns a response message for rejecting bearer activation to the PGW.

The response message for rejecting bearer activation may carry the access mode of the current network.

Specifically, the SGW may carry the access mode of the current network as a parameter in the response message for rejecting bearer activation and send it to the PGW. The response message for rejecting bearer activation may further carry a content indicating that the access mode of the current network is inconsistent with the access mode of the original resident network recorded in the PGW, for example, indicating that the access mode stored in the PGW is inconsistent with the current access mode in the value of cause.

In step 309, the SGW sends an update bearer request message to the PGW, which carries the access mode of the current network.

Specifically, the SGW may carry the access mode of the current network as a parameter in the update bearer request message and send it to the PGW. The update bearer request message may further carry a content indicating that the access mode of the current network is inconsistent with the access mode of the original resident network recorded in the PGW, for example, indicating that the access mode stored in the PGW is inconsistent with the current access mode in the value of cause.

When the SGW is connected to multiple PDNs, it sends the update bearer request message to multiple PGWs.

In step 310, the PGW returns an update bearer response message to the SGW.

In step 311, the PGW sends the access mode of the current network to the PCRF, and acquires the PCC rule corresponding to the access mode of the current network from PCRF.

In step 312, the PGW initiates a bearer activation process according to the acquired PCC rule corresponding to the access mode of the current network.

If, in steps 301-302, the PCRF directly delivers the PCC rule to the SGW to trigger the bearer activation process, the process from step 308 to step 312 is as follows. The SGW sends the access mode of the current network to the PCRF, and the PCRF sends the PCC rule corresponding to the access mode of the current network to the SGW and the PGW. The SGW initiates the bearer activation process according to the acquired PCC rule corresponding to the access mode of the current network.

The present disclosure is applicable to not only the bearer activation procedure in the embodiment, but also bearer modifying and deleting procedures, which are substantially similar to the bearer activation procedure and will not be further described here.
